1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, OPERATING PROCEDURES AND LIMITS
1.1
Start-up Information
a.
LUBRICATION: Make sure crankcase is filled with Comet Pump oil. Running this pump
without oil will cause damage and void any warranties. Change the pump oil after the
initial 50 hours of operation. Change oil every 500 hours after the initial oil change. The
oil level of the pump can be checked by removing the oil cap and inspecting the dip stick.
The correct level should fall between the min and max lines on the dip stick.
b.
WET END: The Comet Pump should never be run dry. Running the pump dry will cause
premature wear on the seals, packing and plungers. Running the pump dry for a
prolonged period of time may cause damage that cannot be repaired. Do not start a
pump with frozen water in the manifold.
c.
STORAGE: If there is a risk of freezing, run antifreeze through the pump. Empty any
extra liquid inside the pump by running the pump without water for no more than 20
seconds.

valve caps on manifold of pump. (Fig. A)
Examine the valve cap o’ring for cuts or
distortions. Replace if worn.
Using a needle nose pliers, remove the
riser tube and/or suction and delivery
check valve. (Fig B) The valve assembly
usually stays together when removing. If
the valve comes apart, use a needle nose
pliers or a reverse pliers. Remove the
o’ring and replace if worn or damaged.
Inspect the suction and delivery check
valve assembly for general wear and
replace if necessary. The valve assembly
consists of the plastic cage, spring, valve
seat, poppet and o’ring. (Fig. C) One
Comet valve kit is needed for a complete
valve change in one pump.
Replace old valves by placing assembly in
the valve chamber. Replace riser tube on
top of the check valve where necessary.
B. Removing & Replacing Pump Manifold
1. Using a 6mm allen head wrench, remove
the four head bolts. (Fig. E)
2. With the pump firmly secured, take two
medium sized flat head screwdrivers and
apply pressure to the manifold by prying
between crankcase and manifold. (Fig. F)
Work around from all sides of the manifold
evenly until it comes off of the pistons.
Keep manifold properly aligned with the
crankcase to prevent damage to the seals
and pistons.
3. When replacing the manifold, lubricate the
pistons and cylinders with grease. Evenly
press the manifold toward crankcase until
flush.

section 6.1-B. It is possible that the seal
and brass retainer ring assembly stays on
the piston or remains in the manifold when
removing.
2. Using the packing extraction tool & slide
hammer, remove the brass retainer
ring/seal stack. (Fig. A) Remove the lowpressure seal using a needle nose pliers.
(Fig. B) Once this seal is removed, replace
with a new seal.
3. Remove the outer o’ring by taking a small
flat head screwdriver and working your way
under the o’ring and simply roll off. (Fig. C)
4. The V-packing stack can be taken apart by
hand.

Insert low-pressure seal using Comet repair
tools. (Fig. D) Place the brass retainer ring
on stand (Fig. D-1). Place tapered stainless
steel cylinder (Fig. D-2) on top of brass
retainer ring with the tapered narrow end on
the brass retainer.
Insert a new lowpressure seal, closed side facing up, on top
of tapered stainless steel cylinder so it lays
flat across the top. (Fig. E) Gently push the
seal down through the tapered cylinder using
plastic insertion tool (Fig. D-3.) Switch to
smaller diameter plastic insertion tool (Fig.
D-4) to push the seal into its seat inside the
brass retainer ring. (Fig. F)

E. Plunger Maintenance
1. Remove the manifold as described in
section 6.1-B.
2. Remove the 6mm allen bolts securing the
two halves of the crankcase. (Fig. A) There
are piston return springs energized within
the crankcase. When removing the bolts,
the two halves of the pump must be held
together with a press or something
equivalent to keep from springing apart.
3. Once all four bolts are removed, the pump
will want to spring apart due to the pressure
from the springs. (Fig. B)
4. Remove the pistons by pulling down from
the inside of the crankcase with your hand.
(Fig. C)

slight side and downward angle. (Fig. D)
One side of the seal will pop up and can be
easily removed.
6. Inspect ceramic piston & all parts for wear.
Replace if worn. (Fig. E)
F. Plunger Reassembly
1. Slide the piston assembly through the
crankcase piston holes. (Fig. C)
Be
certain not to damage or displace the oil
seal during this process.
2. With pistons, springs & rings in place, take
the two halves of the pump crankcase and
press together aligning the four bolt holes.

halves apart as shown in section 6.1-D.
There are internal springs pushing these
two sections apart. Place the pump in a
press, or something equivalent, to keep the
two halves from springing apart when the
bolts are removed. (Fig. A)
Once the crankcase is apart, the shaft and
bearings are exposed. The components fit
on top of each other in order according to
the parts breakdown manual. (Fig. B)
Remove thrust bearing, axial bearing by
hand.
Remove angled eccentric shaft by removing
6mm bolt with an allen wrench and lifting
off.
Remove the crankshaft using an industrial
press. Gently tap the end of the shaft until
shaft releases from the crankcase. (Fig. C)
The bearing usually comes out with the
shaft.
To remove the shaft from the
bearing, support both sides of bearing and
press or tap shaft out of the bearing.
